Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.

Flexible in terms of how the UI assists users working in a variety of roles
Our initial setup was complex because we are guaranteed to have approximately two thousand concurrent users. We began first with a couple of servers, then after a couple of years, as we saw that the usage was going up, we grew both horizontally and vertically. We have a pretty big team here, with fifteen huge processes. I would say that from a development perspective, building one complex process will take a couple of developers, and an additional person is required to exclusively handle the support. There are many factors to it. In our organization, we need 24/7 support because we have trade finances that work in the middle of the night. We require additional support to accommodate people working in shifts. If change requests come in then one developer may be able to handle three processes. In the case of a new requirement, there is normally one developer who works with the team leader that is monitoring the entire setup.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has been a stable solution so far since it meets our needs, including data modeling, which we need to do before we embark on analyzing and optimizing the business processes."
"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"The product is stable."
"Camunda is a scalable product."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."
"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."
"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."
"The integration capabilities of Newgen OmniFlow are excellent due to its ready APIs, enabling easy API creation for consumption across different systems."
 

Cons

"Lacking in forms visualization."
"Would be helpful if there were additional out-of-the-box activities."
"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."
"While it's very scalable, it would be great if auto-scaling capabilities were added to it... one area that really could help out would be to have dynamic resizing of the cluster. Right now, you have to do capacity planning."
"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."
"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."
"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."
"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."
"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."
"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."
"Improvement is needed in supporting the partner ecosystem."
"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."
"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."
"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We use a community version."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"The on-prem solution is affordable. The cloud solution is more expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Its price is a bit on the high side, but that's okay. From a company perspective, it is reasonable."
"Overall, this solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions in the market."
"The price of Newgen OmniFlow is priced reasonably."
